Question Weekly Questions Mega-Thread - October 12, 2026
It's time once again for a brand new questions thread! Your go-to place for questions and answers of all variety. Happen to have started playing recently and have some confusing things you want cleared up? Maybe you picked the game back up after a long absence? Or maybe you're a seasoned player wanting the finer details of something explained? Ask away! There's no such thing as a stupid question, and we're all here to help.
Try to keep your questions specific! It'll be much easier for us to give you the answer you need than if you generalize too much. Don't worry if you can't though, we'll ask for more information if we need it!
Keep an eye on the thread! Someone may have answered or expanded on a question as a reply to someone else. Or maybe someone else asked something you didn't know you wanted to know. Maybe someone asked something that you can help chip in and answer!

Heya, noob here. What’s the best/fastest/easiest way to harvest mana herbs? I keep getting this daily quest to harvest 50 of them and running Ciar dungeon a million times and hoping they spawn can NOT be correct… but it’s what I’ve been doing.

Homesteads! If you don't have friends with established homesteads, try randomly asking around, you're sure to find someone with a bunch of blue herbs planted that they never harvest.

Oh sweet, didn’t know you could plant those! I’m not familiar with the Homestead stuff really, I kind of just set up a basic farm plot and never touched it. Thanks!

Are skill book pages now obsolete? Such as Book of Fireball Pg x, or Book of Artow Revolver Pg x. They used to be important back when I played in 2010 or so but you learn new skills so easily now I can only assume so?

u/pwnagekirby 12h ago
Basically obsolete, I can't think of a single skill that you still NEED the pages to unlock. Some very few weird people like me might still be trying to learn skills the old-fashioned way on alts, though.

Awesome, half of one of my bags was full of pages that don’t stack together 😂 tossing those out now. Thanks!

Operating on decade old information here lol, is it still important to Rebirth often nowadays? Or does it only matter if I’m looking to set a new talent focus/change my look?
Also, I separated my questions into multiple comments to make it easier for others to find but should I just lump them together next time? 😅

The Shine of Eweca skill gives bonuses based on your current level, but they scale based on your Cumulative Level, I think still up to 40,000. If you're at 40k, and you have enough AP to do what you need to (awakening echostones, swapping GMs/Arcanas), and you're not leveling Arcanas, and you don't need to change your RB'd talent for crafting or anything, and you're not trying to keep your appearance at a certain age, then yeah you don't really need to RB.
I usually see people consolidate their questions into one post BUT I have occasionally seen situations where people will answer some of their questions but not others, and then because there's an answer nobody else pays attention to the post to see that there are still unanswered bits. I think Cryozen usually does a sweep of these threads close to when they roll-over, though. Ultimately I don't think it matters much, kinda up to you.

My Int is capped at 2087 (1.7k white number) with a 118 blue echo, current level 200/50, ttl 40k+ and level 50 Arcana. I've seen people with 2.7k Int. Does level 450 Arcana really adds that much Int or are there other sources that bypass the cap?
2
u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 1d ago
Arcana total 450 does add that much.
Between Arcana levels 10 and 100, every 10 levels you gain 40 to the Str/Int/Dex/Will/Luck cap (+400).
Between 110-300, every 10 levels you gain 20 to the mentioned stat caps (+380).
Between 310-450, every 10 levels you gain +10 to the mentioned stat caps (+140).
In total you gain 920 to your stat caps by being at an arcana total of 450. If you haven't been leveling other Arcanas, you should be.
This says nothing of the other important state of Balance Maximum Rate and Critical Hit Chance Maximum Rate from increasing your Arcana total. The Critical Rate limit increase is by far one of the most important boosts.

u/Kamishirokun 1d ago
Wow that's pretty insane power boost. Arcana level is gated by rebirth, so I can't really do anything about it other than levelling it once per week...had really bad luck returning to Mabi just after Master Plan ended..
Level 200 only gives me about 5 levels of Arcana. That means I need at least 10 rebirths to level 50 one Arcana? Or does it get even slower at higher levels? How many rebirths/forgetfuls approximately do I need to level 50 the other eight arcanas?
2
u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 1d ago
In total you need 3697 levels to max an Arcana. This translates into 19 Rebirths/Forgetful Potion uses per Arcana (or 171 rebirths to go from 0-450 Arcana total).
It does indeed take a lot of time outside of master plans, especially if you're playing catchup with the other Arcanas. But we should expect Winter Master Plan by December (soon™). Given the last two Master Plans, they should also have a boost event for an Arcana where they help you maximize one as an event quest. That should help alleviate the marathon of raising them overall.

u/Kamishirokun 19h ago
Oh man that's gonna take forever.. I think I could maybe reach 100 before December; is it possible to then go from 100 to 450 in one Master Plan event (assuming the December one does happen)?
On an unrelated note, how hard is it to solo Phantasm Temptation? I have bunch of Phantasm passes from Blaanid Brave Boost but doing normal mode feels like a waste. However, I don't wanna waste a pass if I can't pass the DPS check to spawn Temptation. I only have 1.3k MA unbuffed and a Demo staff.

It's possible if you have the prepwork set up (stockpiled rebirth potions and forgetful potions, consistently taking advantage of Master Plan boosts), but building a Rebirth potion stockpile is a pretty big ask for a newer player. I would still expect to at least finish 2-3 Arcanas during a Master Plan though (excluding any events that help boost an Arcana to max).
Solo PT
I think it's doable given your gear and stats. If you're worried though, I would pack a couple Nao Stones. If you haven't already been doing so, be sure to debuff enemies. Astrology with the right conjunction setup is good for speed debuffing groups, but bosses and harder single targets benefit from Hydra Transmutation/Spinning Uppercut (or Smoke Screen if you're trying to refresh skill based defensive cuts), Death Mark (or support shot if you're trying to refresh damage amps), Brionac/Fragarach, and pet debuffs.

u/Kamishirokun 16h ago
I only debuff using death mark and astrology, since I only have the free extra equip slots for that. It's a pain to change gears mid boss fight. I'm talking about the DPS check to kill the...mini succubi? thingy to change the dungeon from normal to temptation since you have to kill them within 30 seconds right? I have hundreds of Nao stones so I think I can...eventually kill the boss at worst using many Naos.
Also another unrelated note, can you transfer erg from a weapon that has undergone the inheritance system? The wiki said
After the item inherits the upgrades from the source weapon:
- The item cannot be used for an Erg Transfer.
- A Transference Catalyst however can be used before the gear transfer to transfer the current Erg to another weapon provided the weapon is not bound to the player.
I don't quite understand that part. Let's say I use the inheritance system on my Demo staff. Then I erg said Demo staff. Can I transfer it to a Ruination staff using the Transference Catalyst?
2
u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 15h ago
You should be able to kill each of the colored succubi (Red White Yellow Pink) with your stats. Once again, debuff with what you can (pure Astro for Mprot and Damage Amp is sufficient here) then pivot into damage (e.g Tblight, Shadow Flare, Thunder).
You can still transfer Erg if a weapon was locked via Inheritance, but you have to do it via the Inheritance system opposed to using Kaelic's transfer system. This wording is advising on transferring erg out of a weapon before any Inheritance (the weapon and its upgrades are permanently bound to you) in the event you want to keep the erg tradable.
2
u/Kamishirokun 15h ago
So basically, since my Demo staff already used the inheritance system, that means that I cannot use the transference catalyst to transfer its erg to a tradable Ruination staff right?
2
u/Cryozen Newchar500 - Guide to Guides on Sidebar 15h ago
Yes you wouldn't be able to use it at Kaelic to transfer the Erg to a tradable Ruin Staff (the Erg is permanently locked to your character).
But you can still inherit the Erg (should still require the Transference Catalyst as a "currency") to said Ruin Staff, but it would make that staff untradable.

What's the condition to knee Glas at crom?
I am trying to burst Glas at around 51% but after 90% the skulls don't spawn anymore.

u/downbook 1d ago
At that stage the boss's jump should be one of the attacks, if the boss misses the jump attack it has a chance to kneel

Hi! I have been playing blazing brawler lately and noticed I don’t have the knuckle mastery skill despite wearing a knuckle. The wiki says I only need to equip one so I am unsure of what to do. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
